3.5/4	" Like a good book, I've Loved You So Long unfolds in chapters. And when it ends, you close the cover with emotion and reluctance." Posted Nov 7, 2008	I've Loved You So Long (2008)	91%
2/4	" Watching Baruchel and Quaid is the payoff in Real Time. But the repetitive, occasionally banal script lets them down." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Real Time (2008)	n/a
1.5/4	" Zack and Miri isn't very funny. Laugh-out-loud bits here are as rare as real breasts in an adult film." Posted Oct 31, 2008	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	64%
1.5/4	" *For those who love sailing, Morning Light* will confirm their passion and please them right down to their Top-Sider encased toes. For the rest of us, this sailors' tale just smacks of naval gazing.*" Posted Oct 17, 2008*	Morning Light (2008)	26%
3/4	" *The notion that a car part holds all the beauty and inspiration of a great piece of art is what makes Flash of Genius* so watchable.*" Posted Oct 3, 2008*	Flash of Genius (2008)	57%
2.5/4	" Aside from some obvious racial stereotypes and voices that occasionally stray into Frito Bandito territory, Chihuahua has charm to spare for the adults, while offering plenty to keep young pups enthralled." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	41%
2/4	" As they hit the road, the scenes play out like TV sitcom vignettes with little holding the centre together. We find out details about the characters lives, but never feel we know them." Posted Sep 26, 2008	The Lucky Ones (2008)	33%
3/4	" Fiennes and Knightley are exceptional in their roles and Dibb proves himself ably in his first big-budget flick." Posted Sep 19, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
2/4	" What was then snappy dialogue from meowing madams acting out a morality play on everything that stinks about haute society now flaccidly flaps, lost in translation from old world to new." Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Women (2008)	13%
3/4	" *Despite the predictable, clich�-riddled script, the soap-opera hokum that passes for drama, Goal II* somehow works.*" Posted Aug 29, 2008*	Goal II: Living the Dream (2008)	41%
2.5/4	" Traitor gets a leg up thanks to a solid cast, including Guy Pearce, an underused Jeff Daniels and chiefly Cheadle's Horn, whose quiet dignity makes his blurred loyalties believable and his true sympathies indefinable." Posted Aug 29, 2008	Traitor (2008)	56%
3/4	" As long as soldiers have gone into battle they have struggled with the rightness of their actions and their purpose in the field -- no matter how firm their resolve at the outset." Posted Aug 22, 2008	Beaufort (2008)	87%
2/4	" The House Bunny may be what some boys like, but there are doubtless moviegoers out there of both sexes who would like to see Faris hop into some decent onscreen material." Posted Aug 22, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
2.5/4	" Adults used to animation that runs on two tracks -- the upfront stuff for the tykes and a witty subtext to entertain big people -- may grow bored with the kid-leaning sensibility of Fly Me to the Moon." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
1/4	" Pretty much drives a stake into the heart of every loyal fan of the movies. And now he's out to stick it to those too young to know about Jar Jar Binks." Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
3.5/4	" There is nothing obvious about the story, which moves carefully and unpredictably, taking us through the streets of Delhi with a view from the back of a rickshaw." Posted Aug 8, 2008	Amal (2008)	100%
2/4	" Bottle Shock comes on too strong and sours once the cork is popped, despite a delightfully over-the-top showing by Alan Rickman." Posted Aug 6, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	45%
3/4	" Three years have passed, but the pants still fit." Posted Aug 6, 2008	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	63%
3/4	" As gripping as anything Hollywood could churn out." Posted Aug 4, 2008	Last Continent (2008)	n/a
2/4	" *As often happens with politics, even as Swing Vote* entertains, it leaves us feeling like we've been subjected to some slick manipulation and worse, left with promises unfulfilled.*" Posted Aug 1, 2008*	Swing Vote (2008)	36%
2/4	" Has its wonky charms, but suffers from trying too hard to be quirky." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Just Buried (2008)	33%
3/4	" Cheese -- but what wonderfully salty, sinfully satisfying cheese it is." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
1.5/4	" Perhaps the other three lives were better." Posted Jul 11, 2008	The 4th Life (2008)	n/a
2.5/4	" The summer popcorn flick manages to deliver more than the standard sci-fi send-up, thanks to a solid supporting cast -- most of whom come from TV -- that help bolster Murphy's average work." Posted Jul 11, 2008	Meet Dave (2008)	19%
3.5/4	" This indie musical is a bijou of a film that joins unaffected performances and a compelling soundtrack in a low-budget, documentary-style film that lets us watch two people fall in love to the mesmerizing soundtrack of the songs they create." Posted May 25, 2007	Once (2007)	97%
2.5/4	" While Close to Home follows a predictable path in its story, it's not without its charms, much of it down to the very believable portrayal of the young soldiers who view many of their duties with the world-weariness of terminally bored teens." Posted May 18, 2007	Close to Home (2007)	67%
1.5/4	" Saddled with the weight of an unfocused, clich�-ridden script, a tiresome voice-over narration that drones on and on, and acting by Rock that's as wooden as Pinocchio, I Think I Love My Wife staggers in predictable circles for 94 long minutes." Posted Mar 16, 2007	I Think I Love My Wife (2007)	19%
1.5/4	" Even for the chubbiest comic cat in captivity, Garfield's onscreen shtick is wearing a bit thin." Posted Jun 16, 2006	Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)	11%
2/4	" The movie plods around, appears to pick up speed, but then falters. Worse, we never feel true sympathy for the lovers who are forced to risk all to meet in secret when fate and politics keep them apart." Posted Jan 13, 2006	Tristan & Isolde (2006)	32%
1.5/4	" The worthwhile bits are few and far between. In the rush to avoid exploiting the athletes, the filmmakers have stuck it to the audience instead. Not funny." Posted Dec 27, 2005	The Ringer (2005)	40%
2.5/4	" *By the time The Dark Hours* starts to get good, it's more than midway into the movie.*" Posted Nov 11, 2005*	Dark Hours (2005)	58%
